title: Single cell PCR : theory, practice, and clinical applications.
abstract: The analysis of genetic material is fundamental to many medical and scientific applications. These include diagnosis of genetic disorders from preimplantation embryos (1) prenatal diagnosis (amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling [CVS]), forensic analysis (2) analysis of pathological specimens (3) paternity testing (4) disease screening, (e.g., antenatal cystic fibrosis screening (5) disease diagnosis, gene therapy (6) formation and analysis of transgeinc animals (7) and investigation of oncogenes (8). However, the major reason for the analysis of genetic material, particularly in medicine, is the diagnosis of genetic disorders.
